The success of V-Guard is testimony to the breadth of vision of its founder, Kochouseph Chittilappilly. Established in 1977 with a meager capital of Rs. 100,000, two employees and a production capacity of 50 stabilizers a month, V-Guard today is a household name across India. From a single product company, it has expanded its portfolio of household products to include UPS systems, water heaters, water pumps, motor starters, solar water heaters, ceiling fans and electric wiring cables.
